good stuff coming up here, keep digging...too fine a craft , got's to dial her in.

15 gallons will have little to no slosh factor in a 6'x2.5' box centered under the deck. 60 or70 gallons might.

This goes more toward your bow lift concerns, but I don't recall reading what model of prop you are running. Can you respond to that? perhaps youre trim angle is off, but maybe you have a bowlifting prop design too. Pics look like it has considerable rake. That will usually mean exagerated bow lift. On a higher mount it can also cause greater instability. this would be exacerbated by trimming too high.

I think Bushwacker also makes avery good point about that tab shape. wide flat suckers would be preferable me thinks.

Good luck with that sweet Seafari
